Communication

Get in touch with mentors and students through the openstack-dev mailing list. Also, you can find us at IRC in #openstack-gsoc at irc.freenode.org.

Ideas

Here are some project suggestions students can choose for their applications. This doesn't mean students have to stick strictly to this list; don't hesitate in propose projects by your own. For the latter, it would be great if you could submit a draft proposal and a estimated timeline.

When writing your proposal, try to estimate your timeline to fit the 4 month period of GSoC coding. Also, take into account that GSoC does not consider other projects than coding, so other ideas (like community tasks or i18n efforts) are not suitable for this internship.

OpenStack Scheduler (Gantt/Climate)

  • Implement a stand-alone scheduler based on the scheduler forklift code
  • Implement a scalable scheduler
  • Implement a cross-services scheduler

OpenStack Queues (Marconi)

  • Add a new storage backend (Redis, RethinkDB, Cassandra, Swift, etc.)

OpenStack Incubator (Oslo)

  • Add a new backend to oslo.cache (Redis, sqlite, etc.)

Projects

Current mentors are willing to supervise students in the following projects:
